Reader For Visually Impaired People Using Raspberry Pi

Visually impaired people are facing many difficulties to read the text on the paper without human assistance. We present a smart device that assists the visually impaired which effectively and efficiently reads paper-printed text. The proposed project uses the methodology of a camera based assistive device that can be used by people to read text document.

In this project we have proposed a text read out system for the visually challenged. For that we are using webcam to capture the images and send to Raspberry Pi. The captured image will be decoded by the Raspberry Pi and sends voice output through speaker. Here switch is used to initiate the process.
